day two hundred and forty-four

woah, one whole month has gone by nearly! it's been brought to my attention that i'm "woefully behind." but i was only slacking on the blogging part, really. i'm still doin' stuff.

#58: my second mix cd was for kyle, and it celebrated the conclusion of his GIS class and thus the official start of full-time fun. all the tracks had "sun," "summer," or some other such happy word in the title. this in fact happened nearly a month ago, but still, yay!

#70: i spent the recent holiday weekend camping on orcas island with some of my favorite people (eleven of them!) kyle and jake had the foresight back in january to reserve two campsites in moran state park for four days and three nights o' fun. an hour and a half drive north from seattle, another hour-long ferry ride from anacortes to orcas, followed by about forty-five minutes of quiet, windy-road driving got my car-full of campers there just in time for s'mores on friday night. we hiked, we played card games, we ate (a lot), we drank (even more) and had an all-around awesomely laidback time.

awesome tree (with jake and emy in it) about a half mile from our campsite

further along the hike - he jumped off that bridge shortly after. chris took pictures of all the jumpers from below and hopefully i can toss a shot or two up here

what we spent most of our time doing - chillaxing by the fire


there was also a lot of this

spectacular view of the san juan islands from the top of mount constitution at sunset
